Won 3-0 by the Madrilenians, the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup between Real Madrid and Marjorca was tense throughout the match, Thursday evening in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). And it was quite predictable that the final whistle was a little agitated between the two camps, not far from coming to blows.
>> Relive Real Madrid’s qualification for the Super Cup final
It is surely the palpable animosity between Pablo Maffeo and Vinicius, who had already regularly clashed on the pitch in the past, which did not fail to add fuel to the fire. And following the Mallorcan full-back’s pre-match declarations – Maffeo had assured that he would KO Vinicius in ten seconds in a boxing fight – we saw many Madrilenians putting little pressure on him throughout the match. As if to defend Vini.
Bellingham’s provocative gesture
Once the end of the match was whistled and Madrid’s victory was buried, Jude Bellingham allowed himself a little slap on the head of his opponent, who immediately pulled the pin. What followed was a first crowd, then a general altercation in the midfield between the players, held back by the staff of the two teams.
-Vinicius, although replaced a few minutes earlier and at the edge of the field, tried to join the audience to fight, held back by a member of his staff. It must be said that the Brazilian was entitled during his 88 minutes on the pitch to special treatment from the Mallorcans, never far from his ankles.
Everything calmed down after a few moments of unrest, but this end of the match tarnished Real’s success and its qualification for Sunday’s final (8 p.m.). Who again could be very hot against Barça.
